They're relatively slow for roaches, but 2 years is definitely far fetched. If they averaged about 1.5 molts per moth in my care(keep in mind that there are larger gaps between molts in the older instars, just like with mantids, of course) then I would estimate that the average time from...

Thanks, it definitely should! Yea, it was.LOL Non-coincidently they were right next the females. When I collected them they already were only around three molts from adulthood, so I'm not sure how long it took in total from hatchling to adult, but my first one matured almost exactly two months...

Lots of overdue updates to share beginning with this post! http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/2017/01/fresh-blattodean-babies-and-adults.html

Plastic containers are the cheapest, easiest, and likely best type of enclosure to keep roaches in(the vast majority of my 18 species are kept in these types of enclosures). I know some keepers use heat cables as a method of heating their enclosures, while some also use a heatlamps with a red...

Just had a large miracle hatch of E.lixa! :D I won't disclose too much info here though, then I wouldn't have anything to share in my new blog post. ;)

Thanks! Although you can alternatively just look up Zophobas morio if you want to see what they'll look like before they turn into beetles. ;)  They'll be 24-28 mm at maturity. :)

Thanks! Well I technically already had them before I made that comment. :lol:  I have a small bit of Christmas cash left over that I'd like to spend on one more nice species of isopod since I already have a couple containers leftover to house some in(my parents mostly are just against more...

Kyle of roachcrossing.com has pretty much all the rare species I'm looking for. LOL Just might not be able to acquire that many with the steep prices. Thanks, I look forward to sharing! :)   Yea, definitely hoping that happens soon!

Cool, I had seen that thread a while back, but couldn't find it recently. It's pretty odd how people are active on the forums and then they just disappear. I might just add my pic to there as well.

Hey! :) Check out me new post to see the first arthropods that I've acquired in 2017! http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/2017/01/first-new-arthropods-of-2017.html

 Nah, maybe around 75 or something, I plan on working mostly isopods and rare species of roaches this year, possibly also some uncommonly kept inverts. It really all depends if my family and I finally move this year. There's not much more space for enclosures in the room that I keep them in, my...

Happy new year everyone!!! :D To celebrate, here's my new years blog post! LOL http://allaboutinsectsblog.blogspot.com/2017/01/new-year.html May this year be great and arthropod-packed! :D

Thanks, I agree! :D  Thanks, pretty bummed since after I found out that the P.leavis had died off I checked on my few A.maculatum and P.scaber and they had died off as well. :(  Fortunately, I know a guy and should be able to acquire more rather easily. Haha, yep, the same face from my...

Hi again guys! I've got the second, and last post in my two post "Amazing Christmas!" series for you guys to check out. Hope you enjoy! :) http://allaboutinsectsblog.blogspot.com/2016/12/amazing-christmas-books.html

Thanks! If everything goes smoothly, I'm sure that you'll be seeing a post titled "M.giganteus Babies!!!!" in Summer! :D

Hey! Hope everyone had a great Christmas, I certainly did! Here is the first post in my two post "Amazing Christmas" series! The second post will be on the truck load of great books I acquired for Christmas. http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/2016/12/amazing-christmas-bugs.html

Thank you! :D Merry Christmas!

Hey! Got a new post out on some new baby roaches! http://allaboutarthropods.blogspot.com/2016/12/new-young.html

Posted just now · Report post I ordered some small Gyna centurio nymphs, some small Polyphaga aegyptiaca nymphs, a couple young Princisia vanwaerebecki and a pair of Eleodes tribulus(no extra charge for sexing). My weather was below freezing this time, I forfeited the LAG and asked Peter to...

Yea, I could've send you a message letting you know who I was, but thought that you might have already known. LOL Nice, sounds like you've got some very interesting P.scaber in your area!  :)  About 90% of the isopods in my yard are A.vulgare, the other 10% being P.pruinosus. However, Woodhaven...
